LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS <3) NORTH PINELLAS COUNTY DATE: April 25, l494 TO: Clearwater City Commission FROM: League of Women Voters/ North Pinellas County RE: Uunedin Pas s Since 19~8 when the County proposed dredGing Dunedin Pass both Pinellas Leagues of Women Voters have opposed the project for the following reasons: Legal ObJections - It does not meet the criteria in F.s. 403.918 for granting permits. It is inconsistent with the Coastal ~one Management ~lement of the Clearwater Compre- hensive Plan and the ~ampa Bay Regional Policy Plan. New legislation in 1992 states, "The artificial creation of new inlets or flushing outlets is prohibited." (Chapter l6B-41. 13 F.S.) Environmental Issues - The pass,which closed naturally, Is in the Aquatic Preserve where marine vegetation and wildlife habitat meritl special protection. A flourish- ing biological community has developed and Clearwater Beach has widened since the pass closert. financial Problems - Now that Coastal fechnology has pro- vided cost estimates we ca,n address this aspect. The costs for the least expensive options are mere than two million dollars not includingthe permit expense or maintenance dredging \'-J11i ch \'1ill be needed. . The Florida League of ~o~en Voters after a year-long study of coastal issues concluded: "v'vise coastal management poli.' cies recognize the natural shift of the coastline. ~pend- ing millions to turn back the tide will not preserve or protect florida's beaches for future generations." The study also adamantly opposed "sca"\ialls, breal\waters, groins, and jetties that obstr1lct the natural sandrift." The structures proposed by Coastal Technology are the largest part of the cost ranging from $6.4 to $1.35 million. Opening Uunedin Pass is not in number of residents should not fits a few boat owners. t~~~t (1 ~\"l'-f3 V'v'~t-t{\. }.'lary r\n1 ;Jm~ t/1, P reSl dent the public interest.

I am completely opposed to this action. Dunedin Pass is a fertile, productive habitat for thousands of resident and migratory birds. The sandbridge of the closed pass, and the extensive mud and sand flats all provide important habitat for shore and wading birds in Pinellas County. This quiet, undisturbed area has been attracting greater numbers of birds each year, and in essence it serves as a protected refuge for them. The birds rely on this area for breeding, nesting, and feeding. Much of this habitat has already been lost, and what little remains is fast disappearing in both the county and the state. Dredging and cutting a new pass through this environmentally sensi tive area would destroy both the sandbridge, and the extensive mud and sand flats, thereby causing untold damage to the populations of birds already stressed in this age of rapid development. The truth is these birds have nowhere else to go. The entire Dunedin Pass ecosystem would suffer long-term and irreparable damage as well as large areas of coastline far away from the Dunedin si tee The effects of continuous maintenance dredging is silting. This churned and muddy water would disturb Gulf shorelines up and down the coast for miles, thus affecting marine life, bird populations, and tourism. How many tourists dream of swimming in muddy brown water? Finally, I wonder if the residents along the bay have considered the fact that opening up the pass would subject their homes to potentially greater hurricane and storm damage. You may well ask why such a destructive action would even be considered. The answer to this question is so trivial that one wonders why anyone would even take such a request seriously. The reason Dunedin Pass is threatened is because WEALTHY AND INFLUENTIAL INDIVIDUALS WITH LARGE MOTOR YACHTS AND SAILBOATS ARE TOO LAZY TO TRAVEL A SHORT DISTANCE THROUGH THE INTERCOSTAL TO THE CLEARWATER PASS! That's right. Our irreplaceable wildlife is threatened for miles up and down the coast because of just a few selfish people. Don't let this atroci ty happen. You can make a difference.

INTRODUCTION t~ ' I' Authorization: This report is authorized by an agreement dated October 11, 1993 between the City of Clearwater and Coastal Technology Corporation. ;"'" Purpose: Dunedin Pass was closed to navigation in 1979 and fully closed in 1988. The City of Clearwater has determined that it is desirable to reopen Dunedin Pass. The purpose of this report is to present results of data collection and analysis relative to documentation of historical Dunedin Pass and relative to benefits and costs associated with reopening Dunedin Pass. This report provides a basis for conceptual evaluation of a reopened Dunedin Pass towards discussion with City staff and regulatory agencies in a pre-application conference and towards formulation of recommendations for reopening Dunedin Pass. Following the pre-application conference and subsequent public input relative to local needs and objectives, the report will be completed and include recommendations to the City of Clearwater. r, Scope: An assessment of public benefits and costs, and demonstration of necessity and net public benefit, are critical to obtainment of the permits and easements needed to reopen Dunedin Pass. Chapter 2 addresses a Public Interest Assessment. Specifically, public benefits are addressed; costs will be added to Chapter 2 upon identification of a recommended plan. Costs are qualitatively addressed in Chapter 3 - which addresses alternatives. ''I'. i \:',' The maximum extent of the historical pass is identified as a possible range for the location of the pass in Chapter 3. Two alternative locations for a minimum channel are also presented. Alternative locations are presented for disposal of dredge material and possible mitigation of future beach impacts that may be attributable to a reopened pass. Structural alternatives for stabilizing the pass are also presented. I', ' ! ~.1"'..':i i' trl.." k,", Chapter 4, to be added later, will include agency permit requirements and comments as cited at the pre-application conference. Chapter 4 will also include public comments obtained at a possible, future public hearing. '""",. Chapter 5, to be added later, will cite recommendations for City action towards reopening Dunedin Pass. I' I ...".. Background: Navigation charts dating to 1883, identify a navigable pass - known then as Big Pass - in the general location of Dunedin Pass - see Figure 1.1. In this century, dredging and filling of Clearwater Harbor has occurred for the construction of causeways and to create lands and canals. Filling of the Harbor has altered the flow of water within Clearwater Harbor and has resulted in a reduced ability of Dunedin Pass to maintain itself by scouring and maintain the ebb shoal.

As such, the closure of Dunedin Pass might not be considered a "natural event" but due to unnatural dredge and fill activities. Prior to the closure of the pass in 1988, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) conducted a study of Dunedin Pass to determine whether improvements were justified (USACE, 1985). The USACE concluded that an expanded and maintained channel are economically justified. The US ACE report recommended Federal participation in funding be authorized by Congress if permits are obtained for the work. In 1984, an application for permits was submitted by Pinellas County for the removal of shoals within the pass. The 1984 permit application received a negative response from the State of Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (DER); the local Regional Planning Council recommended denial; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) cited potential adverse impact to foraging habitat of the ''pipling plover" (a threatened species) and encouraged the use of Hurricane Pass and Clearwater Pass to meet navigation needs. Prior to resolution of issues, this application was withdrawn by the County. In March, 1989, the ballot for elections held within the City included a "straw ballot" question regarding whether the pass should be opened. A total of 5,541 voted for opening the pass; 2,793 voted against opening the pass. On November 21, 1990, a joint permit application was submitted by Pinellas County to the DER, the USACE, and State of Florida Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The application requested permits "to re-establish a navigable connection between north ClealWater Harbor and the open Gulf of Mexico." The proposed new connection cited in the application was about 1,500 feet south of the most recent "naturaf' location of the pass. The application cites this location as desirable so as to minimize adverse impact to natural resources and improve stability of the pass. The application received negative comments from environmental permitting agencies. On February 12, 1991, the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners voted to withdraw the application; the application was subsequently withdrawn and permitting efforts ceased. Renewed local interest and continued needs have prompted the City of Clearwater to initiate this report towards reopening Dunedin Pass. 1-3 r' fL': j 2. PUBLIC INTEREST ASSESSMENT ri I>It ! General: To obtain a State of Florida Dredge and Fill Permit for reopening Dunedin Pass, the City "must provide reasonable assurance that the project will be clearly in the public interest" (Sec 403.914 FS). To obtain easements for the proposed channel on sovereignty lands of the State, within the Pinellas County Aquatic Preserve, the City must demonstrate that reopening Dunedin Pass is "necessary ... to enhance the quality or utility of the preserve or the public health generally" (Ch 72-663, Laws of Florida). These requirements are formally addressed in a "Public Interest Assessment to determine whether... benefits clearly exceed the costs" of a project (Chapter 18-20 F AC). F'" I (:i' '~ i ' tt ' h f A primary focus of this report is to address public benefits and costs. In conjunction with this report, data was collected to demonstrate the extent of public benefits and costs towards assessment of the feasibility and, if appropriate, towards providing a basis for permits to reopen the pass. " .. ! If' '. f') '> Reopening Dunedin Pass may result in the following public benefits: a) public ac'cess to the Gulf of Mexico; b) improved public safety and welfare associated with reduced SR 60 bridge openings; improved public land management associated with controlled access to Caladesi Island State Park; improved public navigation associated with reduced travel times to the Gulf of Mexico and reduction of congestion at other passes; improved water quality within Clearwater Harbor; restoration of the natural habitat surrounding the historical pass; improve habitat for endangered and/or threatened species. c) I ,.. ~.: t' , I ~t.' f t... '" d) t e) t) and, g) i I "'~, ...... " I ......'" ....,.... Reopening Dunedin Pass may also result in the following public costs: a) degraded water quality during construction associated with dredging operations; b) reduction of natural habitat associated with physical construction of the pass; and, c) harm to endangered or threatened species habitat. The costs associated with reopening of the pass are not addressed in this section of this January, 1994 draft report. Costs are addressed under Alternatives (Chapter 3). Following a pre-application conference with regulatory agencies, an alternative will be recommended and associated costs will be included in this section to complete the public interest assessment. All alternatives are assumed to result in the benefits described in this draft. 2-1 . BENEFITS Public Access and Navigation: Prior to 1979, historical Dunedin Pass was the main navigation passageway between the Gulf of Mexico and Clearwater Harbor for the portion of the harbor between the Dunedin Causeway and the Clearwater Memorial Causeway (Figures 2.1 and 2.2). There are two Federal navigation projects in close proximity to historical Dunedin Pass: 1) The West Coast Intracoastal Waterway running north and south through Clearwater Harbor and St. Joseph Sound; and, 2) Clearwater Pass Channel to the Gulf of Mexico. At present, Dunedin Pass is closed; Hurricane Pass is navigable only by small craft (ATM, 1993) and Clearwater Pass is the only maintained navigation channel in the area. The Hurricane Pass Inlet Management Plan cites that Hurricane Pass is navigable only by small craft. Bathymetric contour charts indicate an existing channel depth of -9 feet relative to MSL (ATM, 1993) but, discussions with Caladesi Park personnel and local marina operators, indicate that severe shoaling is occurring at Hurricane Pass ivhich is causing the channel to become more narrow and unreliable. Material is accumulating near channel marker 3 at the pass entrance. Beach nourishment material placed on Honeymoon Island could be the source of this material. . ' . ~ . i ' ... ' 4, . ~ The design depth of the Federally maintained channel at Clearwater Pass is -8' MSL (USACE, 1985). Vessels, with a draft greater than 4 feet, north of the Clearwater Memorial Causeway and south of the Dunedin Causeway, must pass through two bascule bridges to reliably access the Gulf of Mexico - at Clearwater Memorial Causeway (SR 60) with a 90 feet span and a vertical clearance of 25 feet and ClealWater Pass Bridge (CR 183) with a 50 feet span and a vertical clearance of 24 feet. , , , "-, ~ .' ; There are at least 11 commercial/municipal marinas in the area and two boat ramps (Figure 2.2). In 1985, the USACE estimated that there were approximately 2,328 recreational boats in the Dunedin Pass area - based on a physical boat count and estimated ramp and transient boat use (USACE, 1985). The 2,328 boats accounted for about 7.7 percent of the total boats registered in Pinellas County. Table 2.1 presents the prospective recreational boating within the study area (Honeymoon Island to Clearwater Pass) as estimated by the USACE based on 1980 data. Actual 1990 boat registrations in Pinellas County were 44,624. U: ~ , " ' " 2-2 t-'.. r-' 1/lF~ I \ ~.. , pr.'L I f' 1-:; <<. t "'h.: ,..,,' , . +,; j l!t"", i t k_' r".

This has resulted in increased vessel traffic along the ICWW, delays at bridges, and lack of a quick refuge (safe anchorage) during storms for boats in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico adjacent to Dunedin Pass. Interviews with local marinas (see Table 2.3) indicate that the closure of the pass has resulted in congested boat traffic in Oearwater Harbor and that there is a long delay in travelling to CleaIWater Pass and passing through two bridges to access the Gulf.

From 1972 to 1978, the Clearwater Pass Bridge, over the Clearn'ater Channel, averaged 11,536 openings per year and from 1979 to 1993, averaged 13,098 openings per year; an increase of 13.5 percent. From 1972 to 1978, the Qearwater Memorial Causeway Bridge, over the ICWW, averaged 3,657 openings per year and from 1979 to 1993, averaged 5,171 openings per year; an increase of 41 percent. This increase in bridge openings after Dunedin Pass was closed to navigation may indicate an increased use of Clearwater Pass by boaters who previously used Dunedin Pass. I. II ,.., The USACE estimated that each bridge opening would cause approximately a two minute automobile delay; and based on vehicular count data for each bridge, predicted the fuel costs for each bridge opening.

Prior to the pass closure, Caladesi Island was only accessible by boat; the majority of the park visitors arrived by ferry through facilities under park control where entrance fees were collected. The park is now accessible by pedestrians walking north on the beach from Clearwater Beach.

Park personnel have estimated that 50 to 100 people per weekday and up to 250 people per weekend day access the Caladesi Island beach from Clearwater Beach (WATSON, 1993). Park rangers have not determined the number of people who access Caladesi Island beach from the south and are actually using park facilities. At the present time, the park facilities have not become "over used." Park personnel have indicated the following adverse impacts from the pass closure: a) Security: The park can no longer control access and boundaries. Loss of revenue occurs from unpaid access. There have been isolated incidents of theft and vandalism (WATSON, 1993); b) Feral Cats and Dogs: Park personnel have expressed concern that domestic cats and dogs will access the park from Clearwater Beach and establish themselves on Caladesi Island and become untamed. If cats and dogs establish themselves on Caladesi Island and reproduce, these animals will be competing with native species. The park has experienced an advantageous impact from the pass closure. The south end of the park is no long experiencing erosion and is now accreting (CUTTS, 1993). Reopening of the pass would result in improved control of access to the park and better management of these public lands. Water Quality: The existing water quality for a portion of Clearwater Harbor is below minimum State standards. Reopening Dunedin Pass would eliminate what is now a dead end canal that has formed with the closure of the pass. Limited water quality sampling was conducted in September, 1993 at 6 stations extending from Clearwater Harbor to the Gulf, immediately west of the closed pass, as partially shown in Figure 2.3. These 6 stations replicate the locations of prior sampling locations cited in previous studies by Pinellas County in 1989 and 1990 (pINELLAS COUNTY, 1990), and by CH2M Hill in 1988 (DEAN, 1990); Dunedin Pass fully closed in 1988. Appendix B contains the water quality report and data as provided by CH2M Hill for the September, 1993 measurements. Table 2.6 presents a comparison of water quality data for stations 1 through 6. In 1993, station 2 at the western end of the closed channel had the lowest values of dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and salinity of all stations sampled. The DO in September, 1993 at station 2 was 1.5 mgll on a rising tide and 4.9 mgll on a falling tide, resulting in an average value of 3.2 mg/l. Surface water quality standards for Class ill (marine) waters are contained in Chapter 17-302.530 FAC. Dissolved Oxygen should not average less than 5.0 in a 24 hour period and should never be less than 4.0 mgll. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) was measured at station 2 in the closed pass and station 6 in the open waters of the Clearwater Harbor. The BOD was approximately 235 mg/l at station 2 and was undetectable at station 6. 2-9 ,I . . . . y . , .,Y. " , " , .' f I ~ ~ ,. ~ ~ ' _'. Dunedin Pass J')ll( Nate : Pass CD closed In 1988 Po..

These data indicate oxygen depletion at the closed channel. The DO measurements also indicate that the degradation of water quality is localized and concentrated in the closed channel of the pass which has formed a dead end canal. The measurements for stations 3 to 6 were approximately the same and ranged from 5.4 to 5.9 mgll. The plots of the Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) and total Coliform measurements also indicate elevated levels at the closed pass compared to the open harbor. The TKN level at station 2 is not higher than the 1988 measurements. However, the TKN level at station 2 was approximately 1.3 times higher than station 6 in 1988, but the 1993 TK.N concentration at station 2 was approximately 20 times higher than the value at station 6. Nitrogen levels are an indicator of nutrient input, "excessive nutrients (total nitrogen and total phosphorous) constitute one of the most severe water quality problems facing the State" [Chapter 17-302.300 (3) FAC]. , ' ;. The total coliform, while below maximum Bacteriological Quality Standards of 2,400 at any time or a monthly average of 1,000, also indicates degradation of water quality at the closed pass. The 1988 data indicate a coliform count approximately 1.5 times higher at station 2 than at station 6; the 1993 data indicate a coliform count 90 times higher at station 2 than at station 6. " ' \. , Interviews with local marinas indicate a decline in water quality since the pass closed in the area (see Table 2.7) and also indicate that re-opening the pass would improve the water quality. ~ , The water quality data indicate that degradation has formed in the dead end canal because of the pass closure. .'

(', t~ f" I I The reopening of Dunedin Pass would result in tidal exchange between the Gulf of Mexico and northern CleaIWater Harbor. The mean bay tidal range is 1.9' and the spring range is 2.8' as reported in National Ocean SUlVey (NOS) tide tables for the Dunedin area. The tides are a mix of semi-diurnal and diurnal (NEWMAN, 1983; DAVIS, 1990). Dean (1990) performed a numerical study of the hydraulics of a proposed pass opening of similar dimension as considered in this study and estimated that current velocities through the pass would be 2 to 2.5 feet per second. r"' \ '0, i 1,-,,.. The tidal prism of an inlet is the volume of water entering the inlet on flood tide or leaving the inlet on ebb tide. The tidal prism can be calculated from field measurements or can be estimated from theoretical relationships. For a channel cross-section of 1,700 rr below -0.0' NGVD, the theoretical equilibrium tidal prism ranges from 5.8 x 107 ft3 (JARREIT, 1976) to 7 x 107 ff (O'BRIEN, 1969). These theoretical values are within range of the predicted values for a pass with a cross section of 1,500 ft2 as modeled by Dean (1990). (" I .' ... i ....' I . ~.....,.. Reopening Dunedin Pass will result in an average flow of water on the order of 65,000,000 cubic feet per tidal cycle through the pass; the exchange of this water between the Gulf and Clearwater Harbor would clearly improve flushing and water quality within CleaIWater Harbor and would result in public benefits. ("., f~ It' ~ \ ; ,..,.... Avifauna) (Bird) Use of Dunedin Pass: Two broad categories of avifaunal are present in the Dunedin Pass area; shorebirds and wading birds. The activities of these birds can be separated into two distinct uses; nestingfbreeding and feeding/nesting. Specific avifaunal studies have been performed for the Dunedin Pass area by Biological Research Associates, Inc. (BRA) in 1994 for this study, and in 1990 and 1989 for previous studies. The 1994 study is included in this report as Appendix C. The Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission (FGFWFC) also prepared an avifaunal assessment of a previous proposal for reopening Dunedin Pass in 1990. ~;o\ /1" t"' ,> > i \..";" " ,..... ......

Table 2.9 identifies wading and shorebirds known to use the area in some manner; their historic and current use, and their protected status. The 1994 study (BRA, 1994) was unable to document the specific use of specific species at or near the fanner pass. Local "birders" have observed that "the area has become an important nesting and feeding site for both shorebirds and wading birds." Mr. William Cutts, the Park Manager of Caladesi Island State Park, has indicated that park personnel have noted an increase in shorebirds nesting and feeding on the interior sand bars of the closed pass (CUTTS, 1993) . ;. ~ " I. ; ) '. ? ~ .',. ~ ' " ; BRA conducted a field inspection on October 10, 1990 and noted 4 listed, protected species by the USFWS in the project area - Snowy Plover, Piping Plover, Brown Pelican, Snowy Egret. The 1989 study by BRA concluded that the sandy beaches of northern Clearwater and southern Caladesi Islands provided nesting habitat for plovers, terns, and skimmers. The report also concluded that as the mud flats in the interior of the closed pass become larger and vegetation such as cordgrass becomes denser, these areas will become less valuable as avifaunal habitat. Most of the shorebird bird species (i.e. plovers, sandpipers, terns, etc...) expected to occur or actually observed in the interior region are "intolerant of dense vegetation characteristic of cordgrass marshes and mangrove swamps." (BRA, 1989).

I F' f., r The 1989 BRA report also concluded that human traffic on the beach results in human disturbance of shorebird nesting activity. The landbridge between Caladesi and Clearwater formed by the pass closure has resulted in a significant amount of human traffic and some vehicular traffic in the area of the former pass. The 1989 BRA report stated "the sand dune area provides open sandy expenses ideal for ll.eSting Least Tenns, Black Skimmers, and. Wilson's and Snowy Plovers. Disturbances caused by humans and. their pets to ground nesting species can have devastating results on reproductive success." The proposed reopening of Dunedin Pass would reduce human disturbance to the nesting activity of shorebirds. r r' ' t.Y' (fi- t Habitat Restoration: Seagrass beds are present in the shallow waters of Clearwater Harbor and St. Joseph Sound adjacent to the project area. Data indicate that these grass beds have declined in extent since closure of Dunedin Pass. Three types of seagrass - turtle grass (Thalassia testudinum), manatee grass (Syringodium filiforme), and shoal grass (Halodule wrightii) - are present in the nearshore waters of Caladesi Island, northeast of the project site; the beds east of Caladesi Island are the most dense in the area (DAWES, 1989). However, in the vicinity of the closed pass at the interior dead end canal, there are few to no existing seagrass beds (CUTIS, 1993 and EDWARDS, 1993). ~ ' f' \ !"',. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has prepared a report on the seagrass communities adjacent to Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island (BARD, 1992) which presents a historical comparison of seagrass coverage in the Dunedin area. The report compared aerial photography from 1973 to 1990 provided by Southwest Florida Water Management District and the Department of Transportation and biological resource maps of 1950 and 1982 provided by FlQrida Marine Research Institute; the data is summarized in Figure 2.4. The long term data indicates a reduction in seagrass coverage of 72 percent between 1950 and 1982 and a short term reduction of 20 percent between 1973 and 1990. The pass shoaled and eventually closed during this time period between 1973 and 1990. The data showed a sharp decline between 1973 and 1975; the report stated that unusually cold weather most likely was responsible for the sharp decline. The pass was closed to navigation in 1979; the pass fully closed in 1988. I';... f t,. , .t.,...... I-~ ......' Figure 2.5 presents a regional aerial photograph of the pass (AEROMAP, 1993) conducted specifically for this study. The observed seagrass beds in the area agree with the DEP data (BARD, 1992) in that few seagrass beds are present in the interior region of the closed pass. Some new seagrass beds have apparently developed on shoals that formed in the channel subsequent to the pass closing. The proposed reopened channel will avoid the larger seagrass beds. 2-17 . ...

This dominance is consistent with the findings of Zieman and Zieman (1989) who concluded that turtle grass was the largest and most robust species on the west coast of Florida. These previous studies (BARD, 1992 and DAWES, 1989) also concluded that the seagrass communities were confmed to shallow depths because of limited water clarity. Dawes (1989) concluded that dense seagrass was restricted to above mean low water -0.7' NGVD and that "turbidity is a major limiting factor for establishment of beds at any depth below this zone. tI Dawes also concluded that the water clarity degradation in CleaIWater Harbor is very evident compared to northern St. Joseph Sound because north of the Honeymoon Causeway, seagrass beds extend to over 1 m (3.28 feet) in depth. ~< < /I.. A', , \ ' ~ , , . The DEP Division of Parks and Recreation has created seagrass protection zones which prohibit the use of boats with internal combustion motors east of Caladesi Island. These zones extend from the MHWL to water depths of 3 feet as indicated on NOAA boat charts.

ALTERNATIVES ~- (' General: Towards reopening Dunedin Pass, several alternatives exist relative to the size of the channel, the location of the channel, the location of dredge material disposal, and structural features for stabilization of the pass. These alternatives are discussed in this section. " . The following are general design objectives: 1) provide safe navigation between the Gulf and Clearwater Harbor; 2) improve water quality within Clearwater Harbor; 3) minimize future maintenance requirements; and, 4) avoid, to the maximum extent possible, then minimize and mitigate adverse environmental impacts. ( r Following a discussion of the design channel, alternatives are developed within the full range of physical feasibility and each alternative is considered relative to these design objectives. 1...._ ,. r- CHANNEL ALTERNATIVES '-.. I.... , Desian Channel: A prior detailed navigation study by the USACE (1985) prescribes a design channel width and depth which are accepted as a minimum channel - sufficient to meet navigation needs. The USACE (1985) performed an economic analysis comparing costs and benefits for various channel depths and concluded the design vessel dimensions given in Table 3.1. The USACE proposed an interior (in protected waters) channel design depth of 6 feet MLW and a channel design width of 50 feet. \,~-, TABLE 3.1: DESIGN VESSEL DIMENSIONS . ~ , , '.Sail' , ,Power Draft (ft) 4 3 Length (ft) 28-36 26-40 Height (ft) 36-48 15-24 Beam (ft) 8-11 8-12 Source: USACE, 1985 ! -, I - Sailing vessels are assumed to have nominal squat (< 1/2') and power vessels are assumed to have a squat of one foot. To account for wind, waves, currents, and approach from different directions, the USACE proposed entrance channel design dimensions at 150 feet wide by 8 feet deep (ML W). 3-1 10,.., These design channel dimensions are considered reasonable, and adopted for a conceptual design channel. The ICWW has a design depth of 8 ML W. The USACE proposed a channel width slightly smaller than the historical pass width which varied from approximately 230 to 360 feet from 1974 to 1984. However, during this time period (1974 - 1984), the pass was either unnavigable or only used by small, shallow draft crafts. .. A 150 feet wide channel is consistent with Channel Geometry and Navigation Guidelines of the Permanent International Association of Navigation Congress (PlANe, 1980). The PIANC guidelines prescribe a 144 feet wide channel for two- way traffic for boat dimensions prescribed in Table 3.1. Side slopes of 1 V:5H are assumed to be reasonably stable. 1 . "Stable" Channel: The design channel dimensions (150' x 8') reflect an unstable cross-sectional area of 1,700 square feet. Frequent dredging will most likely be necessary to remove shoaling material; up to 165,000 cubic yards per year are estimated to deposit into the channel. An additional channel width and/or a deposition area are appropriate to account for sediment transport into the pass. As cited in Appendix A, a throat cross-section of about 3,000 square feet is estimated to be more likely an hydraulically stable channel. Such a "stable" channel should have the same design depth as the design channel; if the channel were 335 feet wide, a cross-sectional area of 3,000 square feet would result. .: , LOCATION ALTERNATIVES The pass could be reopened to the maximum extent historically recorded or alternately, at some point within the historical range. The following location alternatives are considered - as physically feasible: 1) the limits of the maximum historical pass; 2) the same location as the closed pass; and, 3) the location previously proposed by Pinellas County in 1990. oJ' : Maximum Historical Pass: The pass could be opened by dredging within the maximum limits of the historical pass. Figure 3.1 shows the maximum limits of the historical pass based on the 1873 MHWL (DEMIRPOLAT, et aI, 1987). The 1873 shoreline data is the earliest reliable shoreline information for the project site and also corresponds to the maximum known limits of Dunedin Pass (known as Big Pass in 1873). In 1873, the pass width was approximately 1,650 feet at a depth of 19 feet (DAVIS and GIBEAUT, 1990). The pass narrowed with time due to northern migration and spit growth. The maximum limits of the historical pass along the shoreline (approximately north/south) are from near DNR monument R-27 on Caladesi Island to between monuments R-32 and R-33 on CleaIWater Beach Island. 3-2 , . ..' . i f' I.S4UOO (" ~ "J ~ ~ , CAL.ADE81: "18LAND.'.

This alternative is intended to show the maximum area which might be dredged to re-create the historical pass. If the entire limits of the historical pass were dredged, on the order of 1.6 million cubic yards would need to be excavated from approximately 77 acres of uplands. The estimated cost of dredging, based on USACE (1985) estimates of $110,000 for mobilization and a unit price of $2.45 per cubic yard, is approximately $4 million. A large opening would tend to be more stable, against closure, than a small opening. A large opening would also tend to migrate with northern spit growth. Also, it is expected that the navigation channel would meander and migrate. The excavation would also eliminate valuable upland marine turtle and bird habitat. This alternative is considered environmentally and economically infeasible. " Reopen the Closed Pass: By removal of the shoals from the existing closed channel, the pass could be restored to the approximate conditions present immediately prior to closure. Figure 3.2 shows the existing conditions of the pass and the proposed channel alignment for a reopened pass in plan view and cross-section. The shaded region represents the limits of dredging to create a channel from the Gulf of Mexico to the former channel at Dunedin within ClealWater Harbor. Approximately 218,450 cubic yards would need to be excavated to open the pass with this configuration. The offshore channel excavation will require removal of approximately 22,000 cubic yards. The entrance channel, across the closed pass, will require removal of approximately 65,000 and the interior channel will require removal of 131,000 cubic yards. Based on USACE (1985) cost estimates of $110,000 for mobilization, and a unit cost of $2.45 per cubic yard, it is estimated that dredging costs would be approximately $645,000 to achieve the design channel and $1.2 million to achieve the "stable" channel. Two channel alignments were considered for the option of reopening the closed pass. The first alignment was a southwest channel along Clearwater Beach Island; the second alignment was a northeast channel along the southern end of Caladesi Island. The channel alignment proposed combines the advantageous elements of both options considered following the existing channel remnants and minimizes impact to seagrass beds. 1 . The proposed channel follows the east side of Clearwater Beach Island, south of Moonshine Island, to the northeast end of Island Estates. Access to the ICWW from the north end of Island Estates can be obtained by heading along the east side of Island Estates and then to the ICWW at Seminole Boat Ramp or by heading north along Pope Channel. Shoals at the northeast end of Pope Channel will need to be dredged to maintain navigable access to the ICWW if this route is desired. '" 3-4 . ..~'. l'" ~ ~ ~"'. ....' "" ,..'.

This location is towards the northern end of the maximum limits of the historical pass and is approximately 3,000 feet north of the northern development on Clearwater Beach Island. " Reopening the closed pass would require frequent maintenance dredging. The long curving navigational channel will tend to shoal quickly. If the reopened pass is not stabilized, it will also tend to migrate towards the north. Some loss of bird and turtle nesting habitat would occur and some minor loss of seagrasses would occur. ~' Previously Proposed Location (pineIlas County4 1990): Pinellas County submitted permit applications to reopen Dunedin Pass in 1990 in the location shown in Figure 3.1. This proposed location is towards the southern limits of the maximum historical pass and approximately 250 feet north of the northernmost development on Clearwater Beach Island. Dredging the pass in this location would require excavation of approximately 98,600 cubic yards at an estimated cost of $351,570; excavating a "stable" throat would require excavation of approximately 197,000 cubic yards at an estimated cost of $594,000. L ~ , ,~ This location is at the narrowest portion of the undeveloped shoreline in the project area. The channel alignment is approximately straight east to west and opens to unconfined water on Clearwater Harbor. The location and alignment of this option will most likely result in a more stable cross-section than reopening the closed pass. However, if the channel is not stabilized, the reopened pass would tend to migrate towards the north - adversely impacting valuable avian habitat. Also, reopening the pass in this location will not eliminate the "dead end canal" feature fonned on the interior of the closed pass. ... t 'ii,,' ~, ,! ~ ' DREDGE DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES The beach compatible material excavated to create the new channel could be placed in a number of different locations surrounding the project area. The existing sediment characteristics are described in Appendixes A and D. In summary, it is expected that all of the excavated material, except a thin layer of silt/mud on the top of the existing channel bottom, will be beach compatible quality sediment. 1.... ~ (.' :1 1 ' The following disposal alternatives are considered: 1) adjacent beaches; 2) erosion "hot spots"; and, 3) ebb shoal. r", ' These are described below. ..." \".,":'; 3-6 , '....._ . if'. , . : ~," p , , to. . : ..),....1.

Adiacent Beaches: Dredge material could be placed on the adjacent beaches to offset adverse impacts associated with the creation of the pass. Historical shoreline information shows that the former pass consistently migrated towards the north, indicating a probable net longshore transport from the south towards the north. Historically, the north end of Clearwater Beach Island narrowed as a spit grew towards the north and the very southern end of Caladesi Island eroded from scour associated with the northern migration of the pass. I" ,r Based on historical conditions prior to closure of the pass, there exists a potential for erosion on the shoreline to the north of the reopened pass if the pass is reopened. Dredge material could be placed along the shoreline on Caladesi Island, north of the reopened pass. Figure 3.3 shows the fill template in plan and cross- section. The estimated construction costs for dredging include costs for beach disposal. f' Erosion "Hot Spots": Dredge material could be stockpiled for subsequent placement on shorelines that become eroded in the vicinity of the reopened pass. As localized regions of severe erosion ("hot spots") develop along the shoreline from Honeymoon Island to Clearwater Pass, the stockpiled material could be transported by truck or barge and used for beach nourishment. f This option will require a large upland area to stockpile the dredge material. One or more areas with a total surface area of 27 acres would be needed to store the estimated 218,400 cubic yards of dredge spoil at an average height of 5 feet. The use of a stockpile will require that the dredge material be handled twice: 1) transport to the stockpile location; and, 2) subsequent transport to the localized erosion "hot spot." \...,: f' , tr4 ~.,,, , \",..1' Assuming an average distance of less than one mile between the stockpile location and the "hot spot", it will cost approximately $5.00 per cubic yard extra for this option as compared to direct beach disposal. The additional construction cost to stockpile material and then place material at "hot spots" for the design channel would be $1 million and $2 million for the "stable" channel. This option allows for a flexible sand management approach for the reopened pass. As conditions evolve at the reopened pass which warrant beach nourishment, beach compatible material will be readily available to rapidly respond to these needs. ~~"'ll L:;.,~ ~:.I Ebb Shoal: This option entails the placement of dredge material offshore of the newly created pass to form an ebb shoal. In the absence of an ebb shoal, sediment in the longshore transport system will be directed at the newly created pass and jetted offshore to form an ebb shoal. The sediments which would naturally deposit to form the ebb shoal will create a sediment deficit at adjacent beaches - resulting in erosion. This option attempts to: "pre-form" the ebb shoal; decrease potential \."h'; r,'L, 3-7 ;"...~ . CIW'HlC SCAlE IN Fro 300 , soo lJ R-22 , , . 300 o ... "j Z I I ,- a ~ ~ ~"'\ o R-2J ~, ~ ... ...

Remnants of the ebb shoal of the historic pass are located south of the closed pass offshore of CleaIWater Beach Island. At an inlet, an equilibrium ebb shoal forms to correspond to the tidal hydraulics, geometry of the inlet, and wave climate. Dean (1990) estimated the equilibrium ebb shoal of a reopened Dunedin Pass to be 377,000 cubic yards based on throat cross- sections of 1,490 ft2. The estimated dredge quantity to reopen the pass is approximately 218,000 cubic yards. An estimated 467,000 cubic yards are present in remnants of the former ebb shoal centered approximately 2,000 feet south of the closed pass. It is anticipated that the excavated material would be placed on barges and transported offshore for placement. The offshore region is too shallow for the use of hopper dredges and disposal from a hydraulic pipeline would result in significant turbidity. It is anticipated that offshore disposal will cost an additional $2.00 per cubic yard; projected construction costs are an additional $437,000 for the design channel and $926,000 for the "stable" channel. The effectiveness of this option is dependent upon the stability of the reopened pass. The historic pass migrated towards the north. As the pass reduced in the throat cross-section and prism, the pass migrated and the ebb shoal migrated landward; the result was an updrift offset ebb shoal. The ebb shoal was asymmetrical and offset towards the south along Clearwater Beach Island. The reopened pass will need to maintain a stable location to be able to place sand offshore to "pre-form" the ebb shoal. The reopened pass would need to be hydraulically stable against closure for this option to be effective. There exists a potential for the material placed in the ebb shoal to wash into the channel. The ebb currents through the pass would need to be able to jet offshore any material from the ebb shoal that flood current or waves deposit in the channel. STRUCTURAL ALTERNATIVES The historic pass, prior to closure, was unstable and migrated towards the north. This migration resulted in growth (elongation) of the northern end of CleaIWater Beach Island and erosion of the southern end of Caladesi Island. The reopened pass would most likely tend to migrate towards the north unless the pass is stabilized with structural features. Structural alternatives considered include: a) jetties; b) a weir and deposition basin; and, c) channel revetments (or bulkhead) and a sand trap along the south side of the channel. 3-9 . 1< Jetties: Construction of north and south jetties would stabilize the reopened pass (Figure 3.4a). The jetties would extend offshore to the design depth of the channel (-8.7' NG VD). The jetties would stabilize the location of the navigation channel and act as "training" structures for tidal currents within the channel. The jetties would also improve navigation by sheltering boats from wave attack at the mouth of the pass. f< A typical cross-section is shown in Figure 3.4b. The cap elevation would be at +5' NGVD and 10 feet wide; side slopes would be IV:1.5H, with about a 50 foot wide base at -8.7' NGVD. Each jetty would be approximately 1,900 feet long and require approximately 39,900 tons of stone. Based on an estimated unit cost of $80 per ton for stone, the jetties would cost approximately $3.2 million ($1,690/ft) each. ~ It is anticipated that the jetties would be effective in stabilizing the pass but may have adverse impact on the adjacent beach to the north. Sediment would most likely be impounded adjacent to the south jetty or the updrift beach and also directed offshore to form an ebb shoal. Some sediment would also shoal in the navigation channel. These areas of sediment deposition would most likely be offset by sediment erosion on the downdrift beach on Caladesi Island - adjacent to the north jetty. (' , , . ' Weir and Deposition Basin: A weir and deposition basin would include north and south jetties, with a weir section in the south jetty. A deposition basin would also be excavated along the interior of the weir section (Figure 3.4a). The lower weir section would allow sand to be transported into a sheltered deposition basin to avoid deposition in the channel. Periodic dredging of the deposition basin would allow for sand transfer to the down drift beach and decrease the need for channel dredging. The weir section might be 1,000 feet long with a cap elevation of 0.0' NGVD to allow sand to flow over the weir. Approximately 25,500 tons of stone would be required for a southern jetty with a lowered weir section. The weir section jetty would cost approximately $2 million. It is estimated that the additional dredging cost to excavate the deposition basin would be approximately $80,000 based on a unit cost of $2.45 per cubic yard. The dimensions of the deposition basin would be 1,000 feet long by 70 feet wide and 8 feet deep. The deposition basin would have a capacity of approximately 32,500 cubic yards - equivalent to about 20 percent of the estimated gross annual transport in the. area. This alternative would improve stability of the pass and allow for sand transfer. The deposition basin dimensions (1,000' x 70' x 8') are approximately the largest area that can be excavated and maintained, core boring information indicates a rock layer at approximately - 16' MLW. l, . ~ ,. l. .<~ \" : ~ ,",1 3-10 (" I ~' ". . ,t . .', f ;"" ~."

The structures would stabilize the pass throat section and reduce northern migration of the pass (Figures 3.5a and 3.5b). The revetments would provide protection against scour and the sand trap would reduce the potential for spit growth and allow for sand transfer. Bulkheads are susceptible to toe scour but are more easily constructed and may be more easily removed if unacceptable adverse impacts occur. ,..... I r' I., r" . I i, t.. I The revetments or bulkheads might be 700 feet along the south shoreline and 900 feet along the north shoreline and extend from the mean high water line at the Gulf of Mexico landward to where the channel changes orientation and CUIVes towards the south. The crest of the revetment might be at +5' NGVD and the toe of the revetment will be at -8.7' NOVD. The revetment would slope at 2V:1H. The sand trap might be along the entire south side of the excavated channel resulting in a trap area 1,850 feet long by 6 feet wide. The sand trap might be excavated to approximately -16.7' NGVD where core borings indicate a rock layer exists (USACE, 1985). The sand trap would be 8 feet below the channel bottom and have a capacity of approximately 60,000 cubic yards - equivalent to about one-third of the gross sediment annual transport to the pass. The revetment would require approximately 11 tons per foot. The USACE (1985) estimated that the unit cost for revetment construction would be $64 per ton. At $64 per ton, the total revetment construction cost would be $1.2 million. Alternately, the bulkheads are estimated to cost about $1 million. The extra dredging cost for the sand trap, based on $2.45 per cubic yard, would be approximately $150,000. F""' r' ! I.... ,..... j ~,<,.

General: Appendix A contains the information required under Chapter 16B-41.008 (1) (m) for a coastal construction permit. Physical Characteristics: Dunedin Pass, previously known as Big Pass, is located along the barrier island system of Pinellas County. The pass separated Caladesi Island and Clearwater Beach Island and previously connected Clearwater Harbor to the Gulf of Mexico (see Figure 1.1). Hurricane Pass is located approximately 3 miles north of Dunedin Pass and Clearwater Pass is located approximately 4 miles south of Dunedin. " f Clearwater Beach Island is immediately south of the pass and is a developed island connected to the mainland by the Memorial Causeway (State Road 60) which was constructed in 1925 - 1926. Caladesi Island, to the north, is a State park which was only accessible by boat prior to the closure of Dunedin Pass. Caladesi Island is predominately undeveloped. Tidal flow through historical Dunedin Pass created a channel which extends to the Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW) along the eastern side of Clearwater Harbor. Nautical charts dating back to 1883 indicate a navigable inlet at Dunedin Pass (LYNCH-BLOSSE and DAVIS, 1977 and DEMIRPOLAT, et aI, 1987). ~ ~, In the late 1800's, Dunedin Pass appears on nautical charts as Big Pass; at that time, the pass was the predominant influence over the entire Clearwater Bay and St. Joseph Sound tidal area (HINE, et ai, 1986). In 1921, a hurricane breached what was known as Hog Island to form Hurricane Pass; the northern portion of Hog Island is now known as Honeymoon Island and the southern portion of Hog Island is now known as Caladesi Island. Hurricane Pass diverted tidal flow away from Dunedin Pass. This tidal diversion contributed to shoaling in the channel at Dunedin Pass. Memorial Causeway, to Clearwater Beach Island, was completed in 1926, isolating Dunedin Pass from Clearwater Pass to the south. Between 1926 and 1950, Hurricane Pass continued to exchange the majority of the tidal prism for this area and Dunedin Pass began to migrate (HINE, et aI, 1986). In September, 1950, a major hurricane struck the Pinellas County area and considerable shoaling occurred at both Dunedin Pass and Hurricane Pass (L YNCH-BLOSSE and DAVIS, 1977); both passes experienced increased migration and spit growth. \,!-, .. ::'. I :>. ' , .. . . (1. ~ In 1958, the dredge and flu construction of Island Estates began between Dunedin Pass and the Memorial Causeway. This caused additional reduction in the tidal prism. The Honeymoon Island Causeway was constructed during 1960 - 1963 and separated Clearwater Bay from St. Joseph Sound. Hurricane Pass subsequently controlled the majority of the tidal flow at the north end of Clearwater Harbor; the cross-sectional area of Dunedin Pass decreased (HINE, et aI, 1986). "0 t,'1 t". , " A-l {A' ,.,. ... i In the 1960's and 1970's, Dunedin Pass continued to migrate towards the north and the south end of Caladesi Island eroded. As the pass continued to migrate north, shoaling increased and in 1979, all navigational aids marking the pass were discontinued (pINELLAS COUNTY, 1990); however, small vessels continued to use the pass. The hurricane season of 1985 (Elena, Kate, Tropical Storm Joan) caused substantial shoaling within Dunedin Pass and prevented any navigation of the pass. Hurricane Elena eroded any remaining portion of the ebb shoal and the inlet began to close (DAVIS and GmEAUT, 1990). These storms most likely transported the sediment remaining in the ebb shoal into the mouth of the pass. The tidal flows through the pass were not strong enough to scour out the storm deposited sediments and permanent shoals formed at the pass. These shoals further reduced the tidal flows through the pass resulting in increased sedimentation and by 1988, the pass was completely closed. f!I' ~,' ( . 11.11 \, I~ , "'''.,f Sediment Budget: The magnitude and direction of sand transport in the region of Dunedin Pass are important design parameters for a reopened pass. These transport parameters are also difficult values to quantify. At the historical Dunedin Pass, the net transport direction could be reliably determined, but the transport magnitude was much more difficult to reliably determine. " , f' t..., ~ t~ , The segment of shoreline including the project area from Anclote Key south to Indian Rocks Beach at the western extremity of Sand Key represents a single large longshore drift cell (LYNCH-BLOSSE, 1977 and BRUUN et al, 1958). Local sedimentation patterns occur at inlets within this cell. Longshore transport computed from offshore wave data predicts a net transport to the south (USACE, 1985; NEWMAN, 1983). Historical migration of the inlet and sedimentological data indicate drift reversals, and a net transport from south to north at the historical pass (L YNCH-BLOSSE, 1977; ROSEN, 1976; USACE, 1985). "'..1 t" j,.... f' ' t.t'l i ' Lynch-Blosse (1977) theorized that the down-drift offset at Dunedin Pass resulted from circulation patterns, drift reversals, and an unusually high rate of beach ridge formation on Caladesi Island. The study also reported that wave sheltering and refraction due to the ebb shoal resulted in a net accumulation of sediment on the downdrift beach on Caladesi Island. This transport resulted in the growth of large shoals which became emergent and eventually welded to the shoreline. It was also noted that during the 1970's, as shoals were forming on the north side of the pass, the northern migration rate of the pass increased. The report hypothesized that the increased rate of migration and some deepening of the channel was a reaction of the pass to "attain equilibrium. " , ....~. A-2 ..,.... ,,', I. '." ,i,' .~..,~ ... < t",Q'" ,I,." ""~f"~" "'4" '. (,.t' '" .'. ..",.... ,:.....' " , The closure of the pass was nlost likely due to ebb shoal sediments being transported into the pass, as the pass was becoming more narrow due to decreased tidal prism and increased northern migration. The ebb shoal volume was too large for the hydraulic capacity of the pass. Eventually, the tidal currents at the pass were not strong enough to scour out material that was washed into the pass. Another feature affecting the transport processes at Dunedin Pass is the change in shoreline orientation between Caladesi Island to the north and Clearwater Beach Island to the south. Clearwater Beach Island, adjacent to the historic pass, is orientated approximately north-south. Caladesi Island, adjacent to the historic pass, is orientated approximately 20 degrees from true north in a northeast to southwest direction. This large change in shoreline orientation (neglecting inlet affects) tends to cause longshore transport gradients resulting in erosion of material at the pass. Waves out of a southwest quadrant will cause a northerly transport gradient such that less material is transported from Clearwater Beach Island towards the pass than material is transported away from the pass along Caladesi Island. Similarly for waves out of a northwest quadrant, less southerly transport reaches the pass from Caladesi Island than is directed away from the pass along Clearwater Beach. Thus, if the pass and ebb shoal were never present at this location, longshore transport processes would tend to erode the beaches to "smooth" the shoreline. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimated the longshore transport in the vicinity of Hurricane and Dunedin Passes using average ocean swell and average wind waves observed in deep water off of Tampa Bay (USACE, 1985). This analysis also included longshore transport estimates based on littoral drift roses (WALTON, 1976). Table A.t presents predicted transport rates from wave data and littoral drift roses (LDR) from the north end of Honeymoon Island to the south end of Clearwater Beach Island (USACE, 1985). Figure At presents a graphical deposition of the reported transport rates for the region. Both transport analysis (wave and LDR) were based on the orientation of the north end of Clearwater Beach Island which is approximately due north and the orientation of the south end of Caladesi Island which is approximately 20 degrees east of north. The transport estimates by the USACE indicate a gross transport of 195,275 cubic yards to 183,295 cubic yards per year south of the pass and 235,425 cubic yards to 163,805 cubic yards per year north of the pass. The range of estimates account for different predicted gross transport based on wave data and littoral drift roses. The littoral drift rose predictions agree with those by Newman (1983) who predicted a gross transport rate of 195,275 cubic yards per year for the northern end of CleaIWater Beach Island and 154,000 cubic yards per year at Clearwater Pass. Based on this range of gross transport and based on the transport ratio methodology (WALTER and DOUGLAS, 1993), up to 165,000 cubic yards year are projected to deposit within the channel. 1be estimated maintenance dredging cost would be approximately $514,()()().

These swash platfonns at the historical pass were supratidal (at times emergent) and periodically migrated landward (L YNCH-BLOSSE, 1977) which produced "a continuing process of offshore bar Jonnation and shoreward migration" ... resulting ... "in the gulfward advance of shorelines immediately adjacent to .Dunedin Pass" (USACE, 1977). Comparison of 1950 historical bathymetric charts and surveys performed in 1976 indicate a net gain of material from the north end of CleaIWater Beach Island to the north end of Honeymoon Island (L YNCH-BLOSSE, 1977). The sediment circulation patterns for Dunedin Pass for circa 1975 are shown in Figure A.2 for ebb and flood tidal flows. Lynch-Blosse found that sediment was directed from offshore towards both the north and south beaches during flood tide and that during ebb tide current eddies generated a return flow on the north side which also directed sediment from offshore towards the north beach. Lynch-Blosse concluded that a continuous addition of sediments to the north beach occurred thus creating the downdrift offset and resulting in landward migration of ebb shoals which would attach to the south shoreline. The landward migration of sediment at the pass was apparent by the presence of swash platforms and spits on both the downdrift and updrift beaches. :a.,.' ...,. ........j ........., A-4 85,775 (104,025) t 60,905 (93,075) t . - '. ..,' ',' . . 0,' :,."," _ ~. . t, ~,~ ~ . ~.. ,~ .,' ~ ~, .' , .

Figure A3 depicts the offshore bathymetry as surveyed in November, 1993 for this study. The remnants of the former ebb shoal can be seen offset to the south offshore of Clearwater Beach Island. This feature is most noticeable by the position of the 10 foot contour. The historical Dunedin Pass had a asymmetrical ebb tidal delta which varied in size from 8.8 x 106 cy in 1880 - 1885 to 1.2 x 1cr cy in 1984 (DAVIS and GffiEAUT, 1990). The reported volumetric loss in the ebb shoal from 1950 to 1984 is 7.6 million cubic yards. This represents an annual change of approximately 223,000 cubic yards. The majority of the former ebb shoal landward of the 9 or 10 foot contour is no longer present and most likely has migrated landward. Historic bathymetric charts for the Dunedin area for the 1970's and 1980's indicate that the 4 foot to 6 foot contour was approximately 2,000 feet offshore and the 12 foot contour was 4,000 feet offshore (ROSEN, 1976; L YNCH-BLOSSE, 1977; DAVIS and GffiEAUT, 1990). The 6 foot contour in 1993 was 150 to 250 feet offshore and the 12 foot contour was 2,000 to 2,500 feet offshore. The ebb shoal appears to be offset towards the south or the reported downdrift direction. This offset would be consistent with the reported theoretical net transport direction, but conflicts with the observed northern migration of the pass. The appearance of the offset could be due to the pass migrating towards the north and the southern extremity of the ebb shoal becoming offset relative to the "moving" pass. The availability of sediment on the southern shoreline from the ebb shoal could have provided a readily available source of material for the northern spit growth. As the ebb shoal decreased in size, the pass's throat cross-sectional area decreased from 13,986 if in 1880 - 1885 to 753 ft2 in 1986 (DAVIS and GmEAUT, 1990). For a proposed new pass of a minimum throat cross-section of 1,490 ft2, Dean (1990) estimated an equilibrium ebb tidal shoal volume of approximately 377,000 ey. Sediment Budget of Reopened Pass: Existing literature does not provide a definite quantification of a sediment budget for a reopened pass. It is clear that any new pass will trap significant amounts of longshore sediments. The historical pass migrated towards the north accumulating material on the Gulf shoreline fronting adjacent portions of Caladesi and Clearwater Islands, and in an ebb shoal. The historical pass eroded the southern extremity of Caladesi Island which formed the northern boundary of the throat of the pass. An unstabilized new pass would most likely tend to migrate towards the north, trap material in a navigational channel and . , A-7 ,."

Table At (see page A.4) shows a range of predicted gross transport rates of 163,805 to 235,425 cubic yards per year for the project area. It is anticipated that a new pass would initially impound a large portion of the gross transport and, in time, impound an ever decreasing portion of the gross transport as shoals mature and adjacent shorelines approach equilibrium. K. Wind and Wave Climate: The prevailing winds at the Dunedin Pass area are from the northeast and north during the winter months and from the east and south for the remainder of the year (US ACE, 1985; NEWMAN, 1983). Tabulated wave data (USACE, 1985; NEWMAN, 1983) are in general agreement with the offshore wind data; it was found that the largest percentage of onshore swell is from the southwest. The USACE (1985) stated that ". . . waves affecting the Dunedin Pass study area rarely exceeded a height of 6 feet atui generally average less than 3 feet with a period oj about 5 seconds. tf , " Sediment Characteristics: Six soil investigations have been conducted in the Dunedin project area. These soil investigations are summarized in Table A.2. These studies indicate the following: # " 1) 2) Silt and mud is accumulating on the channel bottom to form a thin silt layer; Below the surficial silt layer, there exists a layer of beach compatible sand from approximately -13' MLW to -16' MLW.

The core logs showed a surficial silt layer 12" to 18" deep on the channel bottom below which beach compatible material was present to at least -13' MSL. The beach compatible material contained 1 percent to 5 percent fines. The bottom silt layer contained fines of approximately 12 percent and organic matter of 16 percen t. ...... .,- 1984 - Central Florida Testing Laboratories: A sand sieve analysis was performed for seven locations - one in the Gulf outside the pass, one in Dunedin Pass, five in the Dunedin Channel and approaches. The sieve analysis showed 5 percent to 25 percent passing the number 200 sieve in the Dunedin Channel and 15 percent to 75 percent passing the number 200 sieve for samples in the ICWW. L." '~. A-12 . 1977 - USF Inlet Sedimentation Study: Extensive sediment sampling was performed in the Dunedin .Pass project area. The study found that the channel sediments at Dunedin Pass mainly consisted of shell fragments. The updrift and downdrift beaches had similar sediment composition. Table A.4 from this study presents the mean grain size, standard deviation, and skewness in phi unit for different features at Dunedin Pass. It was found that gravel and coarse sands (<0.0 <p) were located in the channel throat, coarse sand (0.0-1.0 <p) was located on the updrift swash platform and outer bar, and medium to fine sands dominated other inlet features. The sediment standard deviation and skewness were correlated with the mean grain size. 1977 - USACE: Subsurface investigations were perfolmed for Dunedin and Hurricane Passes. The study concluded that "The channel through Dunedin Pass and northern interior channel again is primarily fine sands with areas of silt and shell to be excavated. The channel through Dunedin Pass and the southern interior channel would require removal of fine sand with traces of shell fragments. " A geologic cross-section constructed from bore logs (Figure A.5), with the core boring log locations shown in Figure A.6, indicates a maximum depth of excavation in the project area of -13' to -15' MLW. Below these depths, rock, sandstone, and limestone will be encountered. TABLE A.4: SUMMARY OF GRAIN-SIZE ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENTS FROM DUNEDIN PASS .. ...... . . .. .. ."... . .. . . , . . . .

Man-Made Structures: Man-made structures influencing Dunedin Pass include: 1) Clearwater Memorial Causeway constructed in 1925 - 1926; 2) Island Estates (dredge and fill island development) constructed in 1950 - 1958; and, 3) Dunedin Causeway constructed in 1960 - 1963. /,.....". " The construction of the causeways and Island Estates has resulted in constrictions which restrict the tidal exchange. The causeways construction sectioned off Clearwater Harbor and, with the formation of Hurricane Pass, resulted in a reduction of the tidal prism at Dunedin Pass (L YNCH-BLOSSE, 1977; DAVIS and GmEAUT, 1989). The construction of Island Estates also contributed to the reduction in tidal prism by reducing the ClealWater Harbor surface area and also by constricting flow. , , There do not appear to be any navigation or shore protection structures on the adjacent beaches of Caladesi Island and Clearwater Beach Island. There is a small jetty or groin on the south side of Clearwater Pass. Clearwater Beach Island, south of Dunedin Pass, is heavily developed with primarily single family residences. Along the Gulf of Mexico, most of the residences have constructed privacy walls along the west side of their property. At the center of the island, approximately 2 miles south of the pass, groins were constructed for shore protection. Along Clearwater Harbor, the residences have constructed bulkheads and small docks. A navigable channel with. water depths of 6 to 10 feet exists along the buIkheaded east side of Clearwater Harbor. l......... Shoreline Change: The shorelines along Caladesi Island, north of the historic pass, and ClealWater Beach Island, south of the historic pass, have typically been accretional. Figure A.7 presents historical shoreline maps for the Dunedin Pass and Hurricane Pass areas. Note the reference mark at each pass to help in determining relative changes between different years. Tables A5 and A6 present historical mean high water line data for DNR monuments north and south of the pass, and shoreline changes for different time periods. \......- The shoreline along the southern end of CleaIWater Beach Island has fluctuated due to the influence of Clearwater Pass; however, the shoreline of central Clearwater Beach Island has remained relatively stable. The northern end of Clearwater Beach Island has been influenced by Dunedin Pass; the shoreline trends have been dominated by elongation and spit growth from northern migration of the pass. As can be seen in Figure A. 7, the northern migration of the pass exceeded the erosion of the southern tip of Caladesi Island, and the spit in fact migrated across the historic pass. A-16 .

Island. In 1921, a hurricane breached Hog Island forming Hurricane Pass. The portion of Hog Island north of the beach became known as Honeymoon Island and the portion south of the pass became known as Caladesi Island. Caladesi Island has rotated in a clockwise direction subsequent to the formation of Hurricane Pass. The north end of the island has eroded due to the development of Hurricane Pass and the south end of the island has accreted due to shoals at Dunedin Pass attaching to the shoreline. The southwest end of Caladesi Island historically experienced erosion due to channel scour at the former Dunedin Pass.

Review of DNR aerials flown in 1990 indicates that the majority of the accretion occurred between 1987 and 1990. The average shoreline change north of the former pass (R-28 and R-22) between 1974 and 1993 was 98.1 feet or 5.2 feet per year. The average shoreline change south of the former pass (R-29 to R.37) between 1974 and 1993 was 211.2 feet or 11.12 feet per year. Stability and Hydraulic Characteristics: Tides along the northern shorelines of Pinellas County are mixed, asymlnetriC<ll, semi-diurnal, and diurnal with a neap tide range of 1.6 feet and a spring tide range of 3.9 feet (L YNCH-BLOSSE, 1977). Figure A.8 presents tidal elevation data for October 27, 1977, measured by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, 1977). The elevations of the interior gages is almost identical to the elevation of the ocean gauge and the Ing time (about 3 hours) between the ocean gauge and the interior gages is approximately the same for all the interior gauges.

In 1977, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers measured currents at seven locations around Dunedin Pass (USACE, 1977) over two complete tidal cycles on October 26 and 27. The current gauge locations are shown in Figure A5. Table A.7 presents the maximum flood and ebb current velocities.

The maximum current velocities for Hurricane Pass and Dunedin Pass were very similar. However, at Dunedin Pass, flood currents were no faster than ebb currents and at Hurricane Pass, flood currents were slower than ebb currents. I j f-":J r: Ik.) t ; Current data was also measured in 1975 by the University of South Florida at 6 locations in Dunedin Pass (L YNCH-BLOSSE, 1977; L YNCH-BLOSSE and DAVIS, 1977). This data (Figure A.9) indicated that at the mouth of the pass, ebb current velocities exceeded flood current velocities by approximately 1 foot per second. This study also concluded that: 1) flow leaving the main channel is directed to the south west; 2) . tidal currents in the asymmetrical main channel are quite clearly channelized; currents in the marginal channel show no ebb or flood dominance; the average maximum ebb current velocity was 2.13 feet per second; the average maximum flood current velocity was 2.10 feet per second; the duration of the ebb phase constitutes 60 percent of the tidal cycle.

Figure AI0 indicates the surveyed channel cross-section and the measured tidal currents in 1989. The data indicated that a distinct tidal cycle existed (even though the pass appeared to be closed) and that maximum flood current velocities were .26 feet per second and that maximum ebb current velocities were .29 feet per second. The measured tidal currents for Hurricane Pass were very similar to these measured in 1975 (LYNCH-BLOSSE, 1977) at approximately 2.3 feet per second for both ebb and flood flow. The USF study also measured currents at Hurricane Pass and concluded that flood current velocities were greater than ebb current velocity, and that the ebb phase duration was slightly longer than the flood phase. t Tidal currents were also measured in January, 1989 at Dunedin Pass, Hurricane Pass, Willy's Cut, North Willy's Cut, and the Dunedin Causeway (DAVIS, 1989). Even though Dunedin Pass seemed to be completely closed to tidal exchange, measurements indicated some tidal flow in the channel. .', :, .. , This study also found that the tidal currents at Dunedin Causeway to Honeymoon Island were different for the east and west bridges. At the west bridge opening adjacent to Honeymoon Island, the currents were strong and related to the currents at Hurricane Pass; ebb flow was towards the south and flood flow towards the north. At the east bridge opening at the ICWW, the currents were weak and related to the ,{ , open sound to the north; ebb flow was towards the north and flood flow was towards the south. If! ' Stability: Dunedin Pass was obviously an unstable inlet as evidenced by its closure in 1988. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, 1977) prepared a stability curve for Dunedin Pass in 1977; this analysis indicated that the pass was within a stable range with a measured cross-section of 1,816 ft2. The study concluded that "The high factor of inlet resistance for Dunedin Pass due to the long channel with low hydraulic radius is an indication that further northward migration or extreme stonn conditions with accompanying high sediment transport rates could alter the existing stable conditions." These conditions, as stated above, did occur, and resulted in the closure of the Pass as stated by Dean (1990), "It is clear that the Pass has shoaled from the south with closure occurring due to filling in of the south side of the channel. Also, the closure occurred fairly rapidly and was probably influenced substantially by the hurricane season of 1985 . . . " tt: ' ~ ; {,',i ':t:'j Y;' : Two numerical models have been performed to determine what, if any, conditions need to be present at Dunedin Pass to result in a stable inlet. Ross and Dorzback (1986) performed a study for Pinellas County to assess the affect of proposed improvements of the navigation channel by use of the University of South Florida's Center for Mathematical Models - hydrodynamic model of Clearwater Harbor. The model was calibrated using the 1977 tidal current information obtained by the USACE. The study simulated tidal flow in and out of Hurricane Pass, Dunedin \1 '" " A-23 ,c,i:.:., (- _..

The authors used an inlet stability method proposed by Jarret (1976) which cODlpares the minimum cross- sectional area of an inlet to a spring tidal prism. The analysis concluded that "Dunedin Pass can be restored to a stable condition by enlarging the present submerged cross-section to 3,000 square feet. . . " The numerical modelling predicted that the above mentioned enlargement would result in a tidal prism of 166,000,000 cubic feet. "' l> . Figure A 11 shows the predicted stability curve for Dunedin Pass and shows the predicted changes in tidal prisms for Hurricane Pass and Clearwater Pass as the cross-section at Dunedin Pass is varied. Ross and Dzorback (1986) concluded that if a stable section was maintained at Dunedin Pass that ''No adverse effect upon either Cleanvater or Hurricane Pass is expected. An improvement in tidal prism, hence flushing for the whole ClealWater Harbor, is expected." " , , , . . j1; , Dean (1990) used a one-dimensional model to study the stability characteristic of reopening Dunedin Pass. This study used a cross-section of 1,490 ft2 (as proposed by Pinellas County) to determine the required hydraulic conditions at the pass to maintain a stable inlet. Relationships between tidal prism and the minimum cross- section for stable inlets as developed by O'Brien (1969) and Jarrett (1976) were used to determine the required tidal prism and a velocity of 2.4 feet per second. i, t ' f . ~. The model used a tidal elevation record from Clearwater Beach for August 1984 as the tidal-driving function for the model. The study results found that for the ten largest velocities (for the model run corresponding to one month) that only five (5) of the ten largest velocities at a "reopened" Dunedin Pass would maintain a stable inlet. Table A.8 presents these results and results of other model runs. The study found that even though a reopened Dunedin Pass had higher tidal velocities than Hurricane Pass, that the predicted tidal prism for Hurricane Pass of 192,000,000 fe to 236,000,000 ff was higher than the predicted tidal prism for Dunedin Pass of 58,000,000 tt3 to 73,000,000 ff. The modeling results indicate that approximately 60 percent of the tidal prism for Clearwater Harbor flows in and out of Clearwater Pass with the remaining portion divided between 10 percent at Dunedin Pass and 30 percent at Hurricane Pass. The report stated that "The only way to stabilize the pass without structures will be to remove sand from the south side of the pass where it is expected to accumulate and transfer the sand to the north side." i ' t .I . . fe, ,,' y\, , t ,I ~. . t,) iJ.'d lU l~~ J 1(,', ~.

Stability of a New Pass: The modelling results of Dean (1990) and Ross and Dorzback (1986) showed that a new pass or an improved historical pass would have a minor impact upon the tidal prisms of Clearwater Pass and Hurricane Pass. Both studies concluded that Clearwater Pass was the predominant means of tidal exchange for Clearwater Harbor and that the tidal prism of Hurricane Pass would be approximately twice that of an improved Dunedin Pass. The historical data and eventual closure of Dunedin Pass have shown that the former pass was unstable. These modeling studies indicate that even with improvements in conjunction with a new pass, that the tidal hydraulics of Clearwater Harbor would not be substantially altered. It is unlikely that a stable inlet could be maintained for a new pass at Dunedin unless the tidal prisms of ClealWater Pass and Hurricane Pass were to be significantly reduced. i ' i t,; '. ..:...... ~,,!".~ "'" ~LP' ~...'

Coastal Technology Corporation (CTC) is currently directing the Phase I Pre- Application/Concept Development of the Dunedin Pass Re-Opening Plan for the City of Clearwater. As part of the Phase I scope of work, CH2M HILL was contracted by CTC to conduct a limited survey of existing water quality conditions within the historic Dunedin Pass located north of Clearwater Beach in Pinellas County, Florida. These data were intended to provide a basis for a limited comparison to water quality data collected at the same location in 1988, as well as a basis for developing a scope for performing a more detailed water quality assessment of the effects of Pass re-opening. r", I i.... II." f : \...., !" ..... Sample Collection i , - Water quality and sediment samples were collected on September 28, 1993 by CH2M HILL scientists at the old Dunedin Pass in Clearwater, Florida Sampling was conducted between 0830-1140 hours on a rising tide and 1400-1700 hours on a falling tide. Data taken from local tide tables indicated that low and high tides were scheduled to occur respectively at 0511 and 1125 hours in the morning, and 1738 and 2330 hours in the afternoon. r. ; " , I I : - \-~ Station location and identification followed the same conventions as used during the 1988 sampling conducted by CH2M HILL, as shown on the sampling station map included in Appendix B. Field measurements were taken at Stations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and included depth, dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, conductivity, salinity, transparency, flow direction and velocity and wind direction and velocity. . . . .' .':.'" .

The information was gathered from both published and unpublished records of professional and hobbyist birders. lDstoric use is defined as pre-1980 while current use will be considered post 1980. The avifauna found within the pass area can be separated into two broad categories; wading birds and shorebirds. Similarly avifaunal use of Dunedin pass can be categorized into two distinct activities; nestinglbreeding and feeding/resting. Both of these bird categories and activities have certain unjque habitat requirements that are present within the area that would be influenced by the reopening of Dunedin Pass. ~ . .....l< , , " . Ii." . t , \f'" Table 1 summarizes historic and current bird use in and around Dunedin Pass. Table II presents the preferred habitat (AOU) of those birds occurring historically or currently in the pass area. t . ",.., t,c// ~ ~;. , . , i.... Histode accounts of the avifauna of the area date from the writings of W.E.D. Scott in the 1880.s (Auk No 4). This early record includes notes on nesting and migrant bird use of tb.e area. Additional records of wintering bird use, feeding and resting, date from the 1950's to present (Audubon Field Notes). A total of 13 wading bird species and 8 shorebird species were known to breed in the area, while over 30 species were known to use the area for feeding or resting (Table 1). However. these early records only pl"CSClt a limited picture of the avifauna! use of the area. 'The limited number of investigators and survey time, may have underestimated or mi~ species using the area. Detailed historic records of breeding bird populations have not been found for the area. )I,'" , '-".' ;; . , t-.":i \..,,~. J t ' t ' t ~ ~ ,..{ , . i" .J Professional and hobbyist bird enthusiasts have kept accurate records of avifauna in the Dunedin Pass area for more than 15 years. Previously BRA contacted Mr. Dave Goodwin in an effort to determine avifaunal use (per. comm.). Recently BRA contacted Ms. Rayer-Page (Clearwater Audubon Society) in order to Rsgess the current avifaunal status of the area. Ms Raye-Page was in agreement with the previous assessment by Mr. Goodwin that the area has become an important nesting and feeding site for both shorebirds and wading birds. Currently 11 species of wading birds and 10 species of shorebirds have been documented nesting in the Dunedin Pass area. At the same time over -40 species of birds are known to use the area in some manner. This increase in both the number of species nesting and feeding in the area are probably a result of increased sampling effort. t. ..
